Shijimajokaku Ward
This district, called Shijimajokaku, is located in the easternmost part of the castle.
Excavation was carried out from 1980 to 1982. A stone path, which extended from Shijimajokaku to Umya, was found. Since this area in located on a gentle slope, parts of the land were leveled so that building could be constructed.
The ruins of a building measuring 4m x 5m or 6m x 6m was found, along with a fireplace. Since no clay tiles were found, it is thought that the roof was made from straw or wood, making it a "horitatebashira" style building. Stone path and stone steps were also found connecting the building to one another. Armor, ceramic items, ornaments, children's toys, and various other items were also discovered during this excavation, which means that people of that time were living as families. The stone walls were build by shaving the land and piling up natural stones. It should be noted that a Shigema gate was also located at the southern part of the district.
